Thread "What made you first join Drunk Duck?" in forum "Meet, Greet, Show and Sell*"

I was looking for online comics a few years back, which (via Google) led me to OnlineComics.net, and from there it became pretty apparent I would have a better time exploring the world of online comics by going to the various comics hosting sites rather than hanging there, although it IS a great resource. Since many of the comics I was interested in were being hosted by DrunkDuck, Smackjeeves or ComicsGenesis, I went to those sites first. There are a buncha wonderful comics out there that aren't necessarily hosted on one of those sites, but as a gateway to great creator-driven work, The Duck (and others) can't be beaten.

I've been doing comics for years - since college.
I did many comics trying to get syndicated for a newspaper.
I started a website with WordPress and Comicpress to show my comic Liltoon. I got a little burned out and quit for awhile so I am here to show some of my work and get to know other cartoonists. I think everyone needs encouragement sometimes and I hope this is the place.
Don't do your webcomics alone like I did - make sure you have an audience of peers to keep you going.
Glad to be here.

Liltoon creator

I joined back in '06 to start publishing my comic somewhere it might actually get noticed, worked out well back then, my comics weren't much but it was nice to have people besides my friends looking at them and giving me comments, I've pretty much posted every comic I've started on this site since then :)

I needed a good, user friendly place to archive my comics. I have been doing comics for years for my own enjoyment. Several people suggested I post them online. In 2007, when I finally got a scanner, I started posting my comics at Deviantart. Someone from DA suggested Drunkduck to me, I believe. I have been here ever since.
I was glad to finally have a place where I could not only post my work, but befriend kindred spirits in the comic field. I have gotten a lot of very helpful feedback from other Duckers over the years.

I joined while looking for a forum to share ideas with. I didn't expect to find a place where writers and artist could link up. I'm a lot more excited about this now!

I've always liked to draw stuff and comics are one of them. I always wanted people to see the comics I drew and Drunk Duck was the perfect place to host them.

I'm a newbie, but I actually joined because I listened to a podcast that featured someone who had a webcomic here on Drunk Duck. She touted the great forums, support system, and feedback she'd gotten on her work. At the time I was considering several sites to upload my comic on, but I ultimately decided to use DD because of that podcast and her positive words about the community.
And how could I omit the name "Drunk Duck". That name is just AWESOME! Sounds like a dance move or something involved with a frat initiation ceremony. Love it! That also tipped the scale for me. Something wild, something creative in the name.

Before DD, we tried SJ publishing our first webcomic with my sister leading the first chapter but people didn't like it as they mock her artstyle so stopped by to DD, published again and liked it. This site never mocks or criticize one's artstyle…love you guys! ( 'w')-b

I was 11 and sick of my geocities site. True story.

DrunkDuck was the first place I was ever recommended to go to host a webcomic, been off and on it ever since. I joined back in '07 when I attempted to draw in the Anime/Manga style (which I sucked at).
This time, definitely doing to stick around.

After researching other webcomic hosting sites, I found that this one was designed the best. The other ones seemed to scattered, and messy.
I also liked the name. It's a good fit with my comic. http://www.drunkduck.com/Boozer_and_Stoner/

Mine's pretty simple. I've been building my webcomic and had been updating quite a bit since late 2006. There were a couple of image-hosting sites I went through over the years that either died out or changed format, or some such. I finally decided I wanted to have an actual place to store the comic that was more website than image storage. Someone recommended Drunk Duck and I took a look around. Pretty much liked what I saw and how relatively easy it was to upload everything, and so I brought it over. So far, so good!

Hi I'm Kate from the UK… Fishsoup is my first ever attempt at a webcomic
or any comic of any sort come to think of it. So to be honest I dont have a clue what I'm doing yet! That's why I'm here, I'm here to learn, socialise, try and get some feedback on my work and just to generally enjoy the experience :O)

I wanted to stick it to LeFarce.

When I first considered making a comic, I asked a few friends if they knew of a good webcomic hosting sites. I got a list and Drunk Duck was on it. I checked each site out, tried to create an account on a few. Ones I did succed in making an account I tried to upload a comic. Most of the other sites were way too complicated for what my simple mind wanted to to. I wanted to make an account, create a comic and simply upload for the day and future dates. DD did exactly that with little to no effort. (yay!) I've loved it here ever since.

i began posting on here mainly because i would like feed back for my artworka nd at least gain interest in my comic work.

Strain42 introduced me to Drunk Duck when I found out about his Persona 3 FTW comic from GameFAQs message boards. Because of that I was inspired to make my own parody comic :D

I first read an El Cid comic when he was working under a different pseudonym at Renderotica - this would have been around 2005, I guess. When The Chief started moving around to different sites I just followed him, eventually coming here in 2009. At the time I thought it might be somewhere I could post a comic but it took me until May 2011 before I actually did the deed.

Personally Have been reading comics from DD since 2005 with Charby the Vampirate (good times). and even then this was a great community everyone is great and nobody trolls, more encouragement than bashing. For these reasons I joined DD and brought my webcomic with me.
LOVE YOU DRUNK DUCK!!!!

Posted at 1:02AM, Feb. 12, 2012

my reason for joining up to drunk duck is a bit complicated, you see I never really took intrest in forums or chatting and what not and I thought if I ever wanted to see a comic I would head on down to any local comic book store and purchase one. After some time though comics started taking a bigger role in my life and it dawned on me why not make my own, I mean there have been thousands before me with way more skill and talent, and this encourages me to do the same if not better. I wanted to know what it felt like to create something so magnifiscent and amazing. So I decided to give it my best shot and no matter what happend I would be proud of whatever my creation became.

I want to make an adult comic, and I am not brave enough to take it to a convention. Plus I like being around other creative people.

After seeing Pit Face's PUTRID MEAT on DeviantART, I saw that she had a link to DD so after a bit of browsing (and procrastinating) I decided to join so I could share my comic with all you fine folks.

Posted at 4:03PM, Mar. 24, 2012

i joined because i like comics. they are pretty cool and i actually want to make a sprite webcomic of my own.

Posted at 9:04AM, Apr. 17, 2012

I joined because I like reading comics but my main reason is so I can share my comic with everyone.

Posted at 7:04PM, Apr. 19, 2012

I decided to post on Drunk Duck because it's a free hosting service, there's lots of comic creators here, it allows you to customize your page quite a bit, and it has an awesome posting system that lets you upload a batch and then set a schedul for them to go up.
